Thanks Mich-
You may be right that the batteries are the problem. However, to clarify, when the switch is off the lights are indeed dim when plugged into shore power and become bright when turned on. However, even with the switch on and plugged into shore power for hours the lights go nearly off when the shore power is disconnected - which leads me to believe that for some reason they aren't charging even with that switch on. The only reason I'm a bit questionable about the batteries being bad, is because they seem to charge just fine when we drive the RV. Honestly I was hoping that I was just ignorant and missing something obvious like the battery switch needed to be in a certain position to charge, but it seems like a bit of a deeper trouble shooting issue.
I really appreciate everyone's help and if you have more thoughts I'd love to hear them! You've all given me a bunch of places to start! THANK YOU!
